The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) in Saint Lucia through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Liberty FM 92.3, has broadened its hazard warning and dissemination capabilities nationally and locally in the south of the island for all hazards. This has been achieved through the installation of a new multi-hazard voice interrupt system. The voice interrupt system will allow NEMO to interrupt regular programming at the radio station to provide critical life-saving alerts to the public in the event of an impending hazard impact. The system is expected to contribute to community, national and regional efforts towards protecting lives and livelihoods through early warning. The fully functional system was tested during a tabletop exercise on 20 September, 2019 involving NEMO and the radio station. As part of the initiative, community and business persons as the primary beneficiaries were engaged in consultations to raise awareness on the new addition to warning dissemination tools in Soufriere.
